American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Daredevil #8 & #9
*Marvel: From the Bute Collection, two excellent issues smack in the middle of the wonderful Wally Wood run on early Daredevil. #8 features the debut of the Stilt-Man, an oft-recurring DD foe. #9 has an off-beat thriller set in Europe, with Wood’s layouts pencilled by the versatile Bob Powell.
PICTURED: DAREDEVIL BOTH SOLD
#8 FN £85 1st Stilt Man. This is an outstanding copy, with great colours and reflectivity, square corners, tight, firm staples and off-white to white pages. It would in fact grade as VF+ or better were it not for a very, very faint mug ring between the logo and the Stilt Man’s figure. This is only visible if you catch it in the right light.
#9 VF £95 Great copy with excellent colours and reflectivity. Square corners, unmarked cover, tight, firm staples and off-white to white pages. Just a slight dink to the bottom spine corner and a tiny bit of wear at bottom edge.
